Good Day, I was flipping though Linux Journal and came across an article that mentioned ndiswrapper. I thought I'd try it out but I don't see my wireless chip supported in the "List". Someone else asked about this chipset a while back on this list but I didn't see any replies to it. This is my built in card for a Toshiba A10 Satellite notebook. Installing the driver gives: [root <at> heidrun toshiba-wifi]# ndiswrapper -i WLAGS48B.INF Installing wlags48b no vendor <- this line repeated ~ 23 times Checking out the status shows: [root <at> heidrun toshiba-wifi]# ndiswrapper -l Installed ndis drivers: wlags48b invalid driver! The files that were installed were only the INF file: [root <at> heidrun toshiba-wifi]# ls /etc/ndiswrapper/wlags48b/ wlags48b.inf The files in the self extracting windows EXE are: [root <at> heidrun toshiba-wifi]# ls devpathXP.reg SA10BXWLN.exe WDAGS48B.DLL WLAGS48B.INF DrvUpdt.exe WAAGS48B.DLL wifi.exe WLAGS48B.SYS README.TXT WCAGS48B.EXE wlags48b.cat Since I couldn't get the windows driver to install properly I didn't modprobe the module into the kernel on FC4. [root <at> heidrun toshiba-wifi]# uname -a Linux heidrun.localdomain 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 #1 Fri Aug 26 20:29:51 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux So how do I go about fixing up this driver to work with ndiswrapper?
